In the genetically modified potato plants a fragment of the
endogenous cytoplamatic phosphoglucomutase is constitutively
expressed in an antisense orientation.

As a result of the genetic modification, the stem growth, root
growth and starch content varies between the independent lines
depending on the level of expression. The sucrose content in the
leaves and tubers is comparable to or lower than in the parent
variety.

Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms

The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
